Q&A for How to Spawn a Wither in Minecraft

Spawning a wither may seem like a foolish idea, but advanced players will make them in order to gather nether stars. These are used to make beacons.

Withers will attack any mob except for zombies, skeletons, zombie pigmen, wither skeletons, husks, strays, and other withers.

Yes, you can spawn withers in creative mode.

you get them by killing some wither skeletons, but make sure that your sword has Looting III.

Minecraft can be in easy, normal, or hard difficulty, but it cannot be in peaceful mode when you want to spawn a wither.

Soul sand can be gathered in the Nether. You can dig it up easily with a Shovel. You can tell you're in soul sand if your movement is slowed. The texture is dark brown with tiny soul faces.

The head cannot be crafted using materials. You'll need to gather three wither skeleton skulls by killing skeletons in the nether. You can also use creative mode to access the materials.

No there isn't, you can only spawn a wither by building one.

No, wither storm is from the game "Minecraft: Story Mode." It does not exist in the regular Minecraft game.

Drinking milk should get rid of the Wither effect, just make sure you have a lot of it!

Soul sand in often found by lava lakes (the equivalent of sand in a beach by a lake), so go down and look for lava lakes/oceans to find soul sand in the nether.

Yes, it does. Make sure to keep the mode to easy, normal or hard. Peaceful is a non-mob mode.

The wither throws flaming skulls that can blow up almost anything, so I’m guessing they are capable of destroying hotels.

Well, you don't necessarily have to go into the nether to spawn it. You do need to go to the nether in order to collect the necessary items to spawn the wither, however.

The wither may be able to fire a blue wither skull, which can destroy obsidian. However, normal wither skulls cannot.

Yes. It's more fun if you have friends with you, plus you'll have extra people to help fight it.

You cannot without cheats, but on PC, you can use the command "/summon EnderDragon."

If you are in creative mode, you cannot die unless you want to. The wither's attacks won’t harm you.

The wither does not actually grow in Minecraft, but it does regenerate health over time. If you are thinking about the wither storm from Minecraft story mode, it grows by "eating" blocks around it.

You can spawn the wither on any console or device. However, this might not work in cracked or older versions of the game.

A nether star can be used to craft a beacon. A beacon will give you extra powers, such as strength and speed when you are near it.

No.

Place soulsand in a T shape and place three Wither skulls on the three soulsand blocks on top.

Diamond sword and Diamond armor. A bow if you have it, with good enchantments. Since the Wither goes for passive mobs, such as pigs and sheep, you can bait it into range with one of those.

No. That would be awesome, each head going independently, but no.

Yes, it is. It will kill anything in its path (including you), except fellow withers. It is also known for blowing up houses and villages with the Wither Skulls that it shoots from its mouth.

The elder guardian can be found inside ocean monuments. Guardians, however, are found outside the monument, guarding it.

You should kill the ender dragon first so that you can spawn the wither in the end. The wither will mass-destroy whatever place it’s in, so the end is the best option. If it hits an Enderman by accident, the Enderman will attack it, which is also a good reason to spawn it in the end.

No, the potions aren't necessary, but you can use some to harm him. (They don't do much damage though.)

No, there is no need for a command block.
